Level 9 - 150 base + 15 sign on. No RSUs.

What do you guys think?

This is for Infosec engineer.
Though I am in lcol and this is a remote job but this( level 9) seems very low according to level fyi.
I do have a better offer from consulting firm which is better than this but I prefer IC roles.
Any tips for negotiation?

    Cisco is a stupid company and doesn’t look on resume.

      Not true. Cisco has a strong reputation and will at least get you interviews.

      Can vouch for that. It may not be a hot name in the market, but from my experience, I have recruiters from FAANG reaching out to me now more than earlier.

  • The base is good, you could negotiate for 10-20k more but i wouldn't expect them to grant it.

    You *must* negotiate to RSU 100-150K atleast.

    Competing offers make things easy.

      Demand grade 10.

      As a 9 I got no RSU. As a 10 I got some.

      Been 10 with a lower base for a couple years. Ended up with 150k base recently after an internal lateral transfer but they would not budge on RSU for internal moves.

      If you come in at 9, you will get pushed down on merit and focal raises. You will get a smaller raise whenever you get a promotion to 10.

    G9 isn’t a real SWE… it’s in range for base and high for lcol… you guys are a dime a dozen they can find hundreds of others for the tasks they need you to do

    No RSU sounds cruel.
